I had purchased "Edge of Darkness" by Barry Thornton a few years ago.
Great book BTW. It's the book you should read _after_ Adam's trilogy. It's
well written and well laid out. A little anal in spots though.
But what interests me most in his book is his images. They really are
fantastic. What most strikes me is his skies. I can remember back to when I
was a teen and in high school (back when Jesus was still a cowboy) and my
art teacher laying into me because I never painted in the entire paper. I
always left the skies white.. unpainted.
Well, so many of my landscapes are like that.. the skies are white. I try
to burn it in.. The clouds are there on the negs but after a while, I'd give
up. Burning in skies is such PITA.
So my question is, what do you do to get real skies on your prints ? Do
you use red filters ? Do you N+3 to get your skies ? Or do you burn the
living daylights (literally) to get your skies on your prints ?
Thanks
